Oh gosh, Alli. This is SO beautiful. Wow, thank you for taking the time to read, ponder, imagine and share. I really appreciate the dynamic here, the relational components, and the use of your imagination to this familiar story--including the name "Joseph." Thanks for your willingness to be led in prayer & creativity this way & please keep sharing!

Thank you for reading along, Mary Ellen! It’s always been one of my favorites too - maybe it’s the idea of a giant picnic with Jesus. Sounds heavenly!
